Here&#8217;s Amber:<\/p>\n<div><span style=\"font-size:85%;\">&#8220;Hi! Lyn has invited me here  today to share a bit about the strong women in my family as well as one of my  strong heroines in my latest book. It seems to me that heroines in novels  usually stems from two places: your own background or a lacking in your  experiences. You either portray aspects of your life through your heroines, or  you make up for what was missing in your life by giving your heroines everything  you didn&#8217;t have.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size:85%;\">I had a rather strong woman as an example set before me. My  mother always had it all together&#8230;or made it appear that way. From the time I  was 8 years old, she went to work, managed the finances, prepared meals, took  care of the 3 of us kids (at the time; a 4th came 5 years later), and kept a  good control over the household.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size:85%;\">As the only girl with 3 brothers, I helped out quite a lot.  Learning alongside my mom created an inner strength I still carry with me  today.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size:85%;\">But there were times growing up where I resented the fact that  my mother expected so much of me while allowing my brothers to slide by on so  many things. It felt like she valued me more for what I could do around the  house than for who I was as her daughter. But, she is an adult child of  alcoholic parents with a mom who basically drank herself to death after my mom  turned 12. By the time Mom was 19, she&#8217;d lost her mother. So, she had to be  strong. Not knowing how else to respond, she raised me the same way she  remembered growing up&#8211;handling it all.<\/span><\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size:85%;\">Deep down, I resented her for that and unbeknownst to me had  built a wall around myself, not allowing people to get too close. I had  assumed an air of confidence and conveyed the appearance of having it all  together as a way to mask the inner turmoil and desire for  acceptance.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size:85%;\">It took years before I was able to forgive her and shift our  relationship into one of friends. When that happened, we established an amazing  friendship that has only grown better with time. We would chat on the phone,  send emails and talk via instant message all the time. Now that I&#8217;m married and  living 2000 miles away, the relationship has seen another change, but the  strength and bond is still in tact.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size:85%;\">In my latest release, my heroine struggles with helping a  young man who has caught her eye return to his faith after a crippling loss  makes him falter in that faith. Feeling helpless, she turns to her mother, and  the conversation that ensues is similar to one I had with my mother when I was  making that lifetime decision on who I was going to marry.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size:85%;\">But that conversation didn&#8217;t come early in the book. In fact,  the heroine had sought advice from several others and had even distanced herself  from her own mother almost without realizing it. She had chosen to rely on her  own strength and abilities to help this young man change his mindset, but it  seemed to only end in disaster. When she took the time to speak with her mother  and seek God, the situation started to turn for the better. A few more obstacles  still remained, but this time, she was up to the challenge.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size:85%;\">In many ways, this heroine is her own creation. I often take  bits and pieces from several women to create my characters. That inner strength  and determination, though, came from my own experiences. When I set my mind on  something, I go for it. Annabelle Lawson is the same way!<\/span><\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size:85%;\">Amber Stockton is an author and freelance web site designer  who lives with her husband and fellow author and their baby daughter in  beautiful Colorado Springs. They also have a vivacious Border Collie mix  named Roxie.<\/p>\n<p>Amber has sold eight books to Barbour Publishing with more on  the horizon. Other writing credits include writing articles for various  publications, five short stories for Romancing the Christian Heart, and  contributions to <em>Grit for the Oyster<\/em> and <em>101 Ways to Romance  Your Marriage<\/em>. A born-again Christian since the age of seven, her faith in  Christ has often sustained her through difficult experiences. She seeks to share  that with others through her writing.

From a life of influence and privilege, they  now find themselves working a potato patch alongside immigrants and other  destitute folk on borrowed land. William&#8217;s resentment toward his current  situation\u2014and mostly toward God for allowing it\u2014simmers barely beneath the  surface. All it takes is one charitable visit to the fields from a lovely  society darling to burst his fa\u00e7ade of acceptance. <\/span><span style=\"font-size:85%;\">Annabelle  Lawson, convicted by her pastor&#8217;s admonishing words, begins delivering food and  water to the workers on her father&#8217;s donated land. But as she learns the stories  of the people who work there, she becomes increasingly drawn to their plight.  Especially that of the inscrutable William Berringer. <\/span><span style=\"font-size:85%;\">Can  Annabelle and William overcome the stigma placed upon his family by a society  that once embraced them? Will her parents remember their own meeting or forbid  this budding romance altogether?<\/span><\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size:85%;\">Web site: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amberstockton.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.amberstockton.com<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size:85%;\">Books page: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amberstockton.com\/books.html\" target=\"_blank\">www.amberstockton.com\/books.<wbr>html<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size:85%;\">Book excerpt: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amberstockton.com\/excerpts\/hhexcerpt.html\" target=\"_blank\">www.amberstockton.com\/<wbr>excerpts\/hhexcerpt.html <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thanks, Amber!<br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My guest today is Author Amber Stockton, a real live wire.
